We enjoyed our stay at Summer Fun and would definitely come back. Take advantage of grocery delivery from Barney's, the local grocer in town. They also sell firewood for the fire pit. The hot tub was amazing. Be sure to go to the private beach to watch the best sunset views! We also loved perusing the downtown shops and getting ice cream from Oinks!

My wife, dogs, and I had a great time in NB. We stayed at this same property last year and would love to go back again. Great location and amenities. Close to downtown NB restaurants and shops. Kayaking on the Galien River is a must! Short drive to Weko Beach for the dog beach. Short drive to Welter's Folley at Journeyman Distillery for some putting (and day drinks). The beds could use an upgrade for sure, but the property makes up for it everywhere else. We can't wait to visit again!

It was all location for us. Walking distance to everything New Buffalo has to offer. We’ve stayed in this property now 3x and will be back for more. I did come with twin 3 yr olds. Not the most safe for that ago group. Deck isn’t didn’t seem safe, peeling wood, loose railings. But over all a great house.

Summer Fun House

We had a great time, the house was nice, key features are the deck overlooking the marina & the hot tub. We were mostly at the beach, only in the house at night. Not a ton of kitchen supplies to cook, bring your own spices! Showers are hot & hotter, no cold water after a hot day at the beach. We had a great time, thank you

Perfect

We can not say enough great things about Blue Fish Vacation Rentals. We had everything supplied for a perfect first night- dish soap, paper towels, toilet article supplies, etc. If we needed anything it was given attention and dealt with in a very timely fashion. This was a perfect vacation. Very clean, charming house over looking the Harbor and a view of the lake out of the front windows. We highly recommend Blue Fish Vacation Rentals.

1 very small bathroom on main floor. Other is down in creepy basement. Also driveway is at back of house, must go through basement and steep stairs to get inside. Hot tub had dirt and spiderwebs on it. House smelled damp and like sewage upon entering. This was probably because basement bathroom was a mess. Toilet was clogged and leaking from underneath. Tub was not draining. TV quit on last night there. Very little lighting in bedrooms. Laundry also in basement down steep stairs.

This is a very rough review for a house that rents very well and is liked by most guests. Yes, the driveway entry leads to the walk-out basement so you have to climbs stairs to main floor. You can also access main floor from front door of house. There was a drainage issue that we had handled during their stay. It is no longer a problem.

Ladies Get Away!!

We had a wonderful time. It was late in the season when we could all get away so "Seasonal" stores etc were closed but we still had a great time. We did have an issue with our stove, but the maintenance guy arrived quickly and resolved the issue. Everything was clean, the beds comfortable and the hot tub was wonderful. One concern was with the unfinished basement: mainly the stairs. They are very steep and not a lot of room for your whole foot. We would love to come back and have already discussed using this same rental again. Thank you

Perfect NB Vacation

My wife, dogs, and I had a perfect trip to NB! The location of the home was great. Great views of the marina on one side and a good view of the lake from the other. The lot across the street provides the best lake view. Very cool to see the Chicago skyline at sunset. This trip revolved around food and nature. Over the 6 days we ate out all but 2 meals and only ate at the same place twice (Brewster's). We kayaked the Galien River and hiked the Galien River Park and NB Dunes/Beach. We took the dogs to Warren Dunes Dog Beach (via Weko Beach) multiple times. The house provided the perfect base to recharge after our longs days. We loved the amount of natural lighting for the living room and kitchen. The dogs very much appreciated the carpet in the house, which is easier on their feet after hiking. The only negative was that the beds were not to our preferred firmness level, but we still slept well overall. The Bluefish staff were tremendous at responding to inquiries and arranging add-ons that we opted for. They also provided some excellent recommendations. We would love to stay at this property again!

Wonderful New Buffalo abode

We had a great time at this property in New Buffalo. The location was great - just know that in order to get to the beach and downtown, you need to walk around the marina. There is no cut through. The house was very clean and well maintained. There were plenty of starter supplies like towels, shampoo, dish soup, etc. The house didn’t include basic pantry items, but the listing was very clear on what was included and what wasn’t. The hot tub was fantastic - it was extremely clean and functional! Our only note for improvement would be better lighting. There was only one lamp in the master bedroom, so lighting was low, the basement overhead light was missing a pull string to turn on, and we couldn’t find outside patio lights for the hot tub. Small minor opportunities for improvements. Overall a wonderful property, great location, clean, and affordable. We would absolutely stay here again!

New Buffalo July 2019

The town is great. Plenty to do. The Inside of the house in general was okay. Check in was easy. There is no beach/lake access. You have to walk quite a distance to get there. The outside was not clean. Area around the hot tub is dirty. Hot tub was dirty. The pictures do not match this at all. Inside was clean. When we arrived we had to change light bulbs in quite a few rooms. We had to take bulbs from unused areas and switch to kitchen/bedrooms. Basement is unfinished. It did have a couch and ping pong table. You have to park in the back of house. Basement doors were very hard to shut/ lock. We had a door knob come off in our hands. The deck on the back of the house is UNSAFE. It appears to be rotten. I wouldn't let anyone near the edge. The knobs on the gas stove are broken. The kitchen is not stocked very well at all. If you are planning on cooking, bring your own utensils/pans. Overall for the price charged for this location I was very disappointed. I would look for a different property.

I am sorry they did not enjoy their stay. None of this was reported to us while they were at house. We would be happy to change lightbulbs or have hot tub cleaned if needed. I have been on this deck numerous times and nothing about this deck is dangerous.
